I have taken to more research and self practice of yoga in order to keep my body fit. In this hectic society of ours, we do not lead a very healthy lifestyle as there are just so many things and committment for everyone of us to do. However I believe it is very important to be healthy. In fact, I rank Health before Family as without Health, no matter how I am committed to Family, I cannot take care of my family members.

Tomorrow 31 Mar 2012 2030 hrs to 2130 hrs will be the annual Earth Hour. Earth hour is dedicated to raising awareness for environment conservation. In this hour, Singaporeans are encouraged to switch off electrical appliances and join the thousands of like-minded people in the different countries towards this common aim.

I was a bit shocked when I realised that I actually ate 8 sets of McDonalds set meal last month and that equates 2 such meals per week. These days I cut down on fast food. I love family-cooked food the most as no matter what food I consume outside of home, I will feel thirsty and this must be due to the presence of MSG in these food!

I think when the Hougang by-election is called, a by-election in Ang Mo Kio will also be called at the same time. One of the currrent MPs in Ang Mo Kio may make way for newcomer, just like the 1992 by-election which was called by then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong to induct Teo Chee Hean into politics. This time round, I believe Seng Han Tong may step down for Ong Ye Kung to come aboard.

One of the take-aways from my reading of a book on Leonardo's thinking is to use mind maps. Mind maps may have found themselves popular only recently but the origin of Mind maps is Leonardo Da Vinci and not Tony Buzan. In Singapore, Adam Khoo is a strong advocate of mind maps.

As I immersed myself into the life of Leonardo Da Vinci, I realised he is really the wisest man on earth. He is a Engineer, a Scientist, an Architect, a polymath and so much more. He gave the world so much through exploration and research to fulfil his insatiable curiosity.

Colonel Nelson Yau has officially handed over the baton of Chief Guard Officer and NDP 12 Chairman to Colonel Desmond Tan. According to newspaper reports, Colonel Nelson Yau is unlikely to breach any code of discipline. It was also reported that Colonel Nelson is not likely to stand for by-election in Hougang. I speculated Colonel Nelson Yau may be SMRT's new CEO as the search for SMRT's new CEO is underway.

I had the Mcdonalds' $4.50 meal for the second time this week. With food sold in food centres easily and commonly at $3.50 or more, it is a treat to eat a burger, fries and soft drink for only $4.50. This is the reason which propelled me to consume Mcdonalds' $4.50 for the second time this week again.

The tourist landscape of Singapore has become stunning and exciting in the recent years. There are the opening of new attractions like the Marina Bay Resorts, the Universal Studios and the upcoming River Safari. With these developments in tourism, Singapore has been attracting record numbers of tourists to its shores. However, an exciting tour itinery filled great attractions is just part of the equation of a memorable holiday in Singapore; the other part of the equation will be a memorable stay here in Singapore. I will advise tourists to Singapore to check out the 5 star hotels in Singaporefor a truly wonderful holidaying experience right here in Singapore!

I have decided to push myself mentally , emotionally, in terms of character and physically in order to be the Best of a man that I can be. This means to forgo the sufficient number hours of sleep and sustaining on just maximum of 3 to 4 hours a night. Though I am a man who requires 8 to 10 hours of sleep in order to feel refreshed, I feel that I can be able to sustain with just 3 to 4 hours of sleep per night… it is all about adjusting. I believe that in life everything can achievable with determination.

I watched the trailer of another upcoming new Mediacorp drama. I know the name of the drama but I am not naming it here. The drama bears resemblance to a Taiwanese drama starring a member of Taiwanese popband “5566”- Sun Xie Zhi- which is now screened on weekday afternoons. While the Taiwanese drama centres on grapes, the new Mediacorp TV drama centres on rice. The protagonist in the new Mediacorp Drama is Shawn Chen and I think by now you knows what new Mediacorp TV drama I am referring to.

Some days ago, I have written a post regarding the super-high salaries the top civil servants in the elite Adminstrative Service draw, which I think should be cut as a result of a civil service which is not too well managed -recently-by these so called elite adminstrative officers consisting of chairmans of statutory boards, permanent and deputy secretaries and senior directories of large ministries who are leaders in our civil service.
